The car joke is: if you buy a car from an old lady, the car does have low mileage and no accidents. But this is a crazy old lady... But it does not matter because it is a Volkswagen.
Prima wagentje, is van een oud vrouwtje geweest... The Dutch car salesman said with his fake Pan-AM smile with his fake blinking white teeth knowing full well that the Dutch are borderline insane.
No, this commercial is about, even an old lady isn't always reliable😂 As the dutch saying goes is always been from an old lady😅 that doesn't always apply.
In the Netherlands that is used a lot: I bought the 2nd hand car from an old lady. There idea is that she has been very cautious with the car. So at the end: not every old lady can be trusted to have handled the car softly
@@DACHBenelux The line "Van een oud vrouwtje geweest" (Belonged to an old woman) is a Dutch saying for a car with low mileage, careful driven, parked indoor, very well maintained. So they think they are going to buy a great car. While the "old lady" of the commercial wasn't like that at all. But VW claims they are always trustworthy, no matter what.
@@DACHBenelux If you want to see more fun commercials, search for Centraal Beheer or "Even Apeldoorn bellen". Centraal Beheer (of the 2nd clip) is indeed an insurance company. They made a lot of funny commercials with the punch line "Even Apeldoorn bellen" (just call Apeldoorn) - Apeldoorn was the city Centraal Beheer had their HQ. Even Apeldoorn bellen was for many years a line many Dutch would call when something in daily life went wrong.
The "Even Apeldoorn bellen" (Time to call Apeldoorn) commercials are some of the funniest and longest running sets of commercials in The Netherlands.. They started in the 80s and are still being made to this very day. They were made to promote an insurance company thats situated in the city of Apeldoorn.. (hence the slogan) And depict people getting in the most absurd and insane predicaments possible and always shown in a funny but dark comedy style way. I HIGHLY recommend you look up more of those because they are among some of the best you will see. They were even so popular that several were translated and used in other countries. And most (if not all) are considered classics.
There was a series of radio commercials by another insurance company with a recurring shady type who would concoct the most elaborate far fetched insurance frauds, reminiscent of those cartoons about overcomplicated apparata to, you know, boil an egg or open a door from across the room. Invariably, the insurance agent on the other side of the line would prick through that scheme by asking one simple question, leading to the fraudulist saying "Foutje! Bedankt!" (My bad, thanks!) before hanging up. Once there was an episode that was much shorter than usual: *Ring!! "Apeldoorn, how can I help you?" "... My bad, thanks" *click
Because the Netherlands is getting more multi cultural by the day it is hard to make funny things w/o offending someone. And yes, the Dutch original can stand a lot and even laugh about jokes over them selves but more and more (mainly immigrants) are quickly offended and run to a judge to get their right.... Even comedians find it hard to make non offending jokes today.
@@chiitra271 The question is if woke can be seen as a culture. Woke people have different standards than the original Dutch so you can say that woke is also a part of multi cultural. Muslims are quickly offended when you make a joke about Mohamed, in France we have seen what can happen. And black people are quickly offended by stuff like blackface and we have seen how different the blocking Friezen were handled. The government is working along with it like a famous cartoonist was lifted from his bed by the police regarding a Mohamed cartoon and recently with Hans Teeuwen who made a video acting as the mayer Halsema with a with a harmless gun on the table as a joke about Halsema her husband. As I wrote "mainly immigrants" does make space for others as well.
@@chiitra271 You are right. I have friends from every culture.They all laugh about a good joke. Even when the joke is about there culture. A good joke is a good joke. Laatst ook met het Ek. Dat ze zich als Gullit gingen Kleden. Gullit zelf was blij dat ze hem niet vergeten waren. De Surinamers hadden er ook niet zoveel problemen mee. (op 1 vrouw na) Het waren alleen linkse witte woke figuren die er problemen mee hadden. Nou nou dat kan toch niet meer in deze tijd zeiden ze. Die mensen zijn gek joh. Niemand maakte er een probleem van welke kleur dan ook. Alleen die witte gekken gaan er over zeiken.
It's a returning joke of an insurance company. People get in all kinds of awkward situations and are advised to call Apeldoorn, which is de the site of the company headquarters. It became a standard saying in the Netherlands for people ending up in cringe situations. So it was a very succesfull commercial
The first commercial with the old lady is not only a dutch, the original is german ... I think this commercial was even shown worldwide, I know a version from the UK, USA and France of it. A funny dutch commercial is : Aviko oma's smulfrieten ........ the sample was even used in the song MC MAYONAISE LEKKER DIKKE FRIETEN. ^^
There is a saying that some people are driving like an old lady so when you buy a car from an old lady they have driven it very carefully but this lady was not as others
I'd say more specific - the car joke is that they look at the car's condition and it's really good, so they're buying the car, despite the old lady was driving recklessly.But Volkswagen is such high quality - the reckless driving didn't affect the car at all.
in the first commercial they think they are buying a new car because old people supposedly don't drive fast. And those are memories of how they tore into it
"Even Appeldoorn bellen" is the key.... The whole commercial is basically a happy short movie that turns into a nightmare. The key is that the viewer can predict what is going to happen before it does... This is when they show "Call Appeldoorn". Only then people realize it's an insurance commercial. There are many variants of it and you just have to see it once. This is one of the best Dutch concept ever.
The music thing is quite relatable, about 10 years ago I heard some Favela/Baile Funk and reggaeton with the worst lyrics on the radio. Didn't had a clue what they were singing, nor did I checked out the video clips. I just bought the mp3' s and added them to my playlist, it sounded energetic and happy. Until I met my late wife, who was American but ethnically was half Brazilian and half Colombian started laughing her ass of during a family get together. Where she saw us dancing to it and everybody (including myself) thinking it were summer happy tunes.
The old lady with the volkswagen, was one of the greatest commercials all-time. By the way, the music, the original is by Barry Manilow 'Looks Like We Made It'
The car commercial: not every old lady is trustworthy luckly every golf is. Its the old woman who sells the car. The dad thinks that because the car was owned by an old lady it was not abused but it was.
Is possible, they also used the Ppsh, Russian T-34 tank and all that came into their hands. Skoda tanks, Czech weapons, our aircraft, our DAF pantserwagens, everything....
i am always happy too see the old commercials again they were great back then , and we dutch like to make the funny so the stick better with the people,
It,s not rocket science, everyone assumes if an old grandma is selling a car she,s been a careful driver so the cars in good condition. The driving scences are before she sells it so the engine is probably knackered. 😅😂
Lyrics dont mater when that beat is great😂👍🏻 i know the song, and Ive blasted it in my childhood😅 though as a Dutch youngster i knew English already and knew what that song was all about😂
the first one>>>not every grandma (old lady) is reliable, a Golf luckily is reliable. the second one is a commercial from an insurance firm. you are spot on on the third one. do i really need to give an explanation on the last two? 😂
#1 0:29 ""It was owned by a little old lady" Never trust an old lady. But do trust a Volks Wagen #2 2:09 "CB or Centraal Beheer = An insurance company." I guess CB will cover this accident #3 3:46 "My favorite evening watching TV: A classic war movie, a good tennis game and Animal Planet" #4 5:05 "Self explanatory" #5 6:00 "Language teaching course"
1:36 'oud vrouwtje' = 'little old lady' 3:38 Centraal Beheer is an insurance company. By now, the phrase "Even Apeldoorn bellen" is so well-known (They've used it for decades), that they don't need to specify anything any more. We all know who and what they are.
Talking about misunderstanding songlyrics: in the Netherlands "One" by U2 was for some time a favourite song to be played at weddings. If you know the lyrics, it's about a very troublesome relation.. Not really about a steady, healthy relationship.
Vertrouwbaar = reliable/to be trusted, you were spot on the rest of the sentence 👌🏻 ... you talked about a t-shirt in Church, I saw a dutch girl walking with her mother, the girl was like twelve and they probably dont knew french because the girl her short had the words: je suis une pute😂🎉
1:57 you indeed din't get it... This boy goes with dad buying "and old lady's car" she reminises her days driving it.. The line Niet elk oud vrouwtje is even betrouwbaar. Translates to Not every old lady is evenly trustworthy.
I really do not like commercials, I try to always skip them. But sometimes, there are some true miracles that are series/shows/movies/clips on their own that are worth watching.
Ok, the first commercial shows an old lady selling her car to a young man who brought his father to inspect the car. As he does so the woman is remembering how she drove it. The words shown are "Not every old lady is trustworthy, thankfully Volkswagon is".
Translation on that first one: "Not every old lady is as reliable. Every (Volkswagen) Golf fortunately is." Basicallty, this commercial plays on how everyone wants to buy used cars from old ladies because those old ladies are the oes whose cars don't see much action, but the old lady from the commercia was having dlashbacks to all the crazy stuff she had been doing with her car that would have done some serious damage to the car... but fortunately it's a (Volkswagen) Golf, so it took that beating (supposedly) without any damage. That second one... "Even Apeldoorn bellen", doesn't have a real 1:1 contextually correct translation but basically and literally it's "Call (as in making a phonecall) Apeldoorn real quick", Apeldoorn being an insurance company (and the name of a city). The "Aan alles gedacht" translates to "(we) thought of everything (already)". Actually, the insurance company *_used to be called_* Apeldoorn, but after some buyouts/mergers it's now been called "Centraal Beheer Achmea" for a while. Third one isn't quite as translatable contextually because it has several things going on at once, but essentially it's an ad for a cable TV/streaming servce package, making the statement that with that particular service you could watch anything from war movies to tennis matches to the animal planet station.
"Even Apeldoorn bellen" is a phrase that most Dutch adults understand... You are out of luck and you should call your insurance company, in this case Centraal Beheer
the old lady carjoke is actually an old comercial from the 90's and she buys that car and she ends up driving like that there is a followup to it as well where she buys a new VW its the same lady and the text reads as follows: "you cannot trust every old lady" "luckily you can trust VW"
1st clip .. it was a flashback what granny did with her car ! ........... not what she wants to do with it ! but hey i seen this advert for months in the netherlands , as being dutch so i understand the whole comical gig for years in advertisement !
i speak dutch as a main so the translations says : not every old lady is trustworthy niet elk oud vrouwtje is even betrouwbaar but you were close you almost had it
10:40 I was confused for a moment, because I heard 'dik', which means fat, so short fat man. Yes, the golden age for Dutch commercials, which is sadly behind us, because they were not cost-effective. The Apeldoorn commercials (and there were many!) were hugely popular, received critical aclaim and probably won some prizes too, but they failed miserably because all people would remember was 'Apeldoorn', which is not the name of the insurance company, but of the city where their main office is located. You can read the name from the tv screen (it's rather a mouth full) but you only hear "Apeldoorn" when you're in the kitchen during the commercial break, pouring some drinks and dicing some cheese before the movie starts.
th-cam.com/video/50z25um6b5A/w-d-xo.html this is in my opinion the best Dutch commercial ever created. "Bedenk goed wat je met je laatste Rolo doet" Basically translates as consider very carefully what you'll do with your last Rolo.
That one was voted best commercial ever in 2015 when STER (the public broadcast foundation who sells airtime for commercials, so the revenue can be used to partly fund public broadcasting) became 50 years
Some 20 year ago I was In your country and met an English teacher there, I went to her class and told those kids to learn good English, cause it's important, even in Brazil, and certainly if you want to work with tourists.
Yes, you are correct. Most of the funny commercials are old. The new ones are annoying, I think the strategy is make people remember the product or brand name, no matter in a negative or positive way and even if you have the attention span of a goldfish. These old commercials give you a good time, but weren't always successful in increasing sales, as people remembered the story more than the product.
Not every old lady is trustworthy/as reliable. Every golf thankfully is. The car chasing guy is an insurance company who always makes videos like that. 7:00 you can buy a book in the NL of things very important people have said in English that was exactly like that. It's called 'I always get my sin'
The first commercial the punch line is that not every old lady can be trusted........

Watch the commercials of "even apeldoorn bellen" They always had the best and funniest commercials. Even Appeldoorn bellen was the slogan of centraal beheer insurance company.
In Japan its very populair to have English words on clothes. But most of them dont understand English. A Japanese you tuber made a video about that. He asked boys and girls. Do u know what your t shirt says. Nobody did know. And he told them. It was so funny . 2 girls had both the same shirt with diarea written on it The faces when he told them. Lol
1 Not every old woman is not always trustworthy 😂, 2 yes is a enshurance company, 3 tv and network company, 4 telephone company, 5 is funny as hell indeed learning Engels, the last one wow thats is just wrong 🤣🤦🏾♂️ haha
The new Xuxa in the end there xD Totally different from "Parabens" X'D I'm Dutch, but my ex was Brazillian, so I got introduced to Xuxa and actually know the lyrics to parabens. She showed me this once before, after that another clip of a young girl taking of the wig of one famous tv-host. Brazil has had some legendary moments on tv man.
Not every old lady is trustworthy. Thankfully, every Golf is. The joke is, the father and son think the car has always been well treated because it's an old lady. While actually the old lady was a wild reckless driver. Also, Teacher Paul: just type anything you don't understand into Google Translate. You don't need us to translate! Although native speakers like me will often get you a better fitting translation, Google often just does a literal translation which makes you miss the punchline.
"not every old lady is trustworthy." she's not the careful old lady driver he believes. "Just Ring Appeldoorn" that's the town where this insurance compant is based "Learn English" an add from a language college
Try Google Translate: Niet elk oud vrouwtje is even betrouwbaar = Not every old lady is equally trustworthy. Elke Golf gelukkig wel = Fortunately, every Golf does. As simple as that.
At 0:59 she is not imagining what she is going to do. She is remembering what she did with the car. In The Netherlands there's this saying about cars : "It belonged to an old lady", inferring old ladies drive very carefully and do no 'abuse' their cars. This ad is making fun of that stereotype by implying not all old ladies are like that. That is why the dad is making all those gestures to the son about the good choice he is making. The punchline was : Not every old lady is reliable (see explanation above). Fortunately, every Golf (the model of the car) is. Second video : He made it into the car. In all my decades of driving I never found the brake pedal nor the hand brake to be not functioning when the key were not in the ignition, so why should you say he is going to die? The joke about peeing in the pool? We got it. Explaining a joke everybody with half a functioning brain gets/should get is sooooo lame.
The sex things can be heard by the kids probably because they don't have an idea where they are listening to and are primarly focussing on the beat and sounds instead of the lyrics.
I remember that song from August 1994 I was 14 at that time. It was part of the sexual revolution placed in time and context. "Short, D!ck man" Maybe that's why there is so much Big D!ck energy within the manosphere?!? LOL I am a little split on the topic of cencorships for public things and "think of the children" narrations. Is this an appropriate song for a school aged kid, or below? 0 - 12 y/o; not really, but there are worse things. Here it would need parental and mature guidance if needed, for the protection. On the other hand the kid doesn't know what the words mean unless they have reached that level of understandings, or have been explained. The dance was hip-hop and not daggering just to name a different dance style from later. I grew up a little different, in a conservative religious bubble, I remember going to the basisschool and kids being dressed like Madonna's like a virgin. Not knowing the song or what it was about. But it stuck in my mind because I was raised with the belief this was weird or wrong. But is it? That depends on the societal norms and stuff like that. I also want to point out that this can be a very thin line. I also remember in my late teens and early 20's with the difference in content on MTV & TMF and the type/version of songs and video clips. Many Rap + R&B where like soft core porn video's and erotica labeled stuff. Many kids at the time also had a tv on their bedrooms. I mean, there is no way to keep your kid away from this more adult stuff unless you raise them in a bubble or prison, on an social island. Alles moet bespreekbaar zijn, and Dutch directness. 2011 Sexy and I know it. LMFAO We all know this song, it was a bob. Here I am working at a party with also kids present and adults; carnaval pre party [carnaval officially starts 11/11 and has many meetings, parties before the actual Carnaval festivity in februari, march; 7 weeks before easter] service, bringing drinks and collecting empty drinks. This song comes up, and a boy not even a teen, maybe 9 y/o jumps on the little stage and pulls down his pants and shows his underpants while shaking his wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.... The parents? Who knows, no one stepped in, so a few wiggles later I told the boy it wasn't okay what he was doing, and went on with working. I am not the guardian of this boy, I was seemingly the only adult in the room that had tried to stop him. But he was shaking even after the song was over. Was I the weird one for making a deal out of this? If he was wiggling while at the beach, would I have said something? Was I making this weird? So I don't know, what the correct answer would be. I just know that I found this weird behavior, but seemingly was the only one stepping in also. I get the point made about the beach, difference he wasn't and there he would not have pulled down his pants to shake his underwear. Was the Madonna, like a virgin dress up with carnaval weird? Is sex weird? How much should we shield kids from this. Because heterosexism and heteronormativity has been around my whole life. Even before the sexual revolution began, before I was born. Similar, but different, is nudity bad? European and even Catholic art has quite some nudity in them. Is the human body a bad and shameful thing? Naturistic ways of upbringing have less hick-ups with the personal body when adults. And even don't see all nudity as sexual. In olden days, a glimpse of stocking Was looked on as something shocking But now, God knows Anything goes Anything goes - Cole Porter
...and make people wait while I type word by word? And risk having google not translate the full context? Also, OBS acts up every time I change screens, then I have to fix the bug. Not so easy when you know the behind the scenes. Google is for off camera use 🙂 I prefer involving the community and then reading the comments, having a laugh together 🤗
I know which shirt you mean, it was here also before in a special shirt store (once you go black you never go back) i think that that is that sentence. Gladly that they are banned from that store

"even Apeldoorn bellen " : commercials for an insurance company
WTF you just said?
There was a series of radio commercials by another insurance company with a recurring shady type who would concoct the most elaborate far fetched insurance frauds, reminiscent of those cartoons about overcomplicated apparata to, you know, boil an egg or open a door from across the room. Invariably, the insurance agent on the other side of the line would prick through that scheme by asking one simple question, leading to the fraudulist saying "Foutje! Bedankt!"

"Apeldoorn, how can I help you?"
"... My bad, thanks"

Talking about misunderstanding songlyrics: in the Netherlands "One" by U2 was for some time a favourite song to be played at weddings. If you know the lyrics, it's about a very troublesome relation.. Not really about a steady, healthy relationship.
Vertrouwbaar = reliable/to be trusted, you were spot on the rest of the sentence 👌🏻 ... you talked about a t-shirt in Church, I saw a dutch girl walking with her mother, the girl was like twelve and they probably dont knew french because the girl her short had the words: je suis une pute😂🎉
"Not every old little lady can be trusted but Volkswagen canbe."
1:57 you indeed din't get it... This boy goes with dad buying "and old lady's car" she reminises her days driving it.. The line Niet elk oud vrouwtje is even betrouwbaar. Translates to Not every old lady is evenly trustworthy.
Even Apeldoorn Bellen are still the most genius ones.
I really do not like commercials, I try to always skip them. But sometimes, there are some true miracles that are series/shows/movies/clips on their own that are worth watching.
@teacherpaul she was imagining what she has done with the car lol not what she planned
Ok, the first commercial shows an old lady selling her car to a young man who brought his father to inspect the car. As he does so the woman is remembering how she drove it. The words shown are "Not every old lady is trustworthy, thankfully Volkswagon is".
Translation on that first one: "Not every old lady is as reliable. Every (Volkswagen) Golf fortunately is."
Basicallty, this commercial plays on how everyone wants to buy used cars from old ladies because those old ladies are the oes whose cars don't see much action, but the old lady from the commercia was having dlashbacks to all the crazy stuff she had been doing with her car that would have done some serious damage to the car... but fortunately it's a (Volkswagen) Golf, so it took that beating (supposedly) without any damage.
That second one... "Even Apeldoorn bellen", doesn't have a real 1:1 contextually correct translation but basically and literally it's "Call (as in making a phonecall) Apeldoorn real quick", Apeldoorn being an insurance company (and the name of a city). The "Aan alles gedacht" translates to "(we) thought of everything (already)".
Actually, the insurance company *_used to be called_* Apeldoorn, but after some buyouts/mergers it's now been called "Centraal Beheer Achmea" for a while.
Third one isn't quite as translatable contextually because it has several things going on at once, but essentially it's an ad for a cable TV/streaming servce package, making the statement that with that particular service you could watch anything from war movies to tennis matches to the animal planet station.
"Even Apeldoorn bellen" is a phrase that most Dutch adults understand... You are out of luck and you should call your insurance company, in this case Centraal Beheer
20 Fingers ! ! ! ! LOVE IT
Even the uncensored version.
Her song Lick It is also great ! !
I love those Pokemon plushies on the background.
the old lady carjoke is actually an old comercial from the 90's and she buys that car and she ends up driving like that
there is a followup to it as well where she buys a new VW
its the same lady and the text reads as follows:
"you cannot trust every old lady"
"luckily you can trust VW"
1st clip .. it was a flashback what granny did with her car ! ........... not what she wants to do with it ! but hey i seen this advert for months in the netherlands , as being dutch so i understand the whole comical gig for years in advertisement !
Not every old lady is reliable😂
Have you ever seen Dutch television. We don't have bliebs, everything is on the air. You may say God dammit and everything you want.
Not every old lady is reliable
1st film the text : not every old woman is trustworthy
translate not every old woman is trustworthy, but an golf is
i speak dutch as a main so
the translations says : not every old lady is trustworthy
niet elk oud vrouwtje is even betrouwbaar
but you were close you almost had it
10:40 I was confused for a moment, because I heard 'dik', which means fat, so short fat man.
Yes, the golden age for Dutch commercials, which is sadly behind us, because they were not cost-effective. The Apeldoorn commercials (and there were many!) were hugely popular, received critical aclaim and probably won some prizes too, but they failed miserably because all people would remember was 'Apeldoorn', which is not the name of the insurance company, but of the city where their main office is located. You can read the name from the tv screen (it's rather a mouth full) but you only hear "Apeldoorn" when you're in the kitchen during the commercial break, pouring some drinks and dicing some cheese before the movie starts.
th-cam.com/video/50z25um6b5A/w-d-xo.html this is in my opinion the best Dutch commercial ever created. "Bedenk goed wat je met je laatste Rolo doet" Basically translates as consider very carefully what you'll do with your last Rolo.
That one was voted best commercial ever in 2015 when STER (the public broadcast foundation who sells airtime for commercials, so the revenue can be used to partly fund public broadcasting) became 50 years
Some 20 year ago I was In your country and met an English teacher there, I went to her class and told those kids to learn good English, cause it's important, even in Brazil, and certainly if you want to work with tourists.
Yes, you are correct. Most of the funny commercials are old. The new ones are annoying, I think the strategy is make people remember the product or brand name, no matter in a negative or positive way and even if you have the attention span of a goldfish.
These old commercials give you a good time, but weren't always successful in increasing sales, as people remembered the story more than the product.
The commercial with te guy who Just made it in the car,is a car insurance commercial
Not every grandma is reliable
Not every old lady is trustworthy/as reliable. Every golf thankfully is.
The car chasing guy is an insurance company who always makes videos like that.
7:00 you can buy a book in the NL of things very important people have said in English that was exactly like that. It's called 'I always get my sin'
Not every old lady is reliable. A Golf is.
Even Apeldoorn bellen,. Apeldoorn is where the insruance company is located , they had amazing comercials for a long wile.
Never explain jokes - unless at gun point
The first commercial the punch line is that not every old lady can be trusted........
Watch the commercials of "even apeldoorn bellen" They always had the best and funniest commercials. Even Appeldoorn bellen was the slogan of centraal beheer insurance company.
In Japan its very populair to have English words on clothes. But most of them dont understand English. A Japanese you tuber made a video about that. He asked boys and girls. Do u know what your t shirt says. Nobody did know. And he told them. It was so funny . 2 girls had both the same shirt with diarea written on it The faces when he told them. Lol
NOT EVERY OLD LADY CAN BE TRUSTED
1 Not every old woman is not always trustworthy 😂, 2 yes is a enshurance company,
3 tv and network company, 4 telephone company, 5 is funny as hell indeed learning Engels, the last one wow thats is just wrong 🤣🤦🏾♂️ haha
omg, those are from my younger years, and ya, i a dutchie !
not every old lady you can trust
The new Xuxa in the end there xD Totally different from "Parabens" X'D
I'm Dutch, but my ex was Brazillian, so I got introduced to Xuxa and actually know the lyrics to parabens.
She showed me this once before, after that another clip of a young girl taking of the wig of one famous tv-host. Brazil has had some legendary moments on tv man.
Haha, indeed
Not every old woman is reliable. Every golf happely is.
Not every old lady is trustworthy. Thankfully, every Golf is.
The joke is, the father and son think the car has always been well treated because it's an old lady. While actually the old lady was a wild reckless driver.
Also, Teacher Paul: just type anything you don't understand into Google Translate. You don't need us to translate! Although native speakers like me will often get you a better fitting translation, Google often just does a literal translation which makes you miss the punchline.
"not every old lady is trustworthy." she's not the careful old lady driver he believes.
"Just Ring Appeldoorn" that's the town where this insurance compant is based
"Learn English" an add from a language college
That tennis one I didn't see yet.
Try Google Translate: Niet elk oud vrouwtje is even betrouwbaar = Not every old lady is equally trustworthy. Elke Golf gelukkig wel = Fortunately, every Golf does. As simple as that.
not every old lady is as trustworthy, luckily every golf is. So it didn't matter that the old lady abused the car, the car will still be good.
2. Call our assurance compagnie
i love those commercials, all of them....
At 0:59 she is not imagining what she is going to do. She is remembering what she did with the car.
In The Netherlands there's this saying about cars : "It belonged to an old lady", inferring old ladies drive very carefully and do no 'abuse' their cars. This ad is making fun of that stereotype by implying not all old ladies are like that. That is why the dad is making all those gestures to the son about the good choice he is making.
The punchline was : Not every old lady is reliable (see explanation above). Fortunately, every Golf (the model of the car) is.
Second video : He made it into the car. In all my decades of driving I never found the brake pedal nor the hand brake to be not functioning when the key were not in the ignition, so why should you say he is going to die?
The joke about peeing in the pool? We got it. Explaining a joke everybody with half a functioning brain gets/should get is sooooo lame.
You can't trust every old woman.
You surely must see the other hilarious commercials from Centraal Beheer; the ‘Even Apeldoorn bellen’ ones.
It's a lokale video from Bunschoten-Spakenburg
Whit a Heineken beer reclame.
Google translate can do wonders
Do what the Dutch do if some words in English are not known by us. Use Google translate ! 🙂
noot etch old women is event to trust ( that is the mening )
You should hear some Dutch songs with English subtitles.
It means you can not trust every old woman
Not every old female is equally reiable.
Not every old woman is trustworthy
Translation of the first commercial, Not every old lady is reliable, VW is.
The second is indeed about insurrence.
The sex things can be heard by the kids probably because they don't have an idea where they are listening to and are primarly focussing on the beat and sounds instead of the lyrics.
not every little old lady can be trusted !
I remember that song from August 1994 I was 14 at that time. It was part of the sexual revolution placed in time and context. "Short, D!ck man"
Maybe that's why there is so much Big D!ck energy within the manosphere?!? LOL
I am a little split on the topic of cencorships for public things and "think of the children" narrations. Is this an appropriate song for a school aged kid, or below? 0 - 12 y/o; not really, but there are worse things. Here it would need parental and mature guidance if needed, for the protection.
On the other hand the kid doesn't know what the words mean unless they have reached that level of understandings, or have been explained. The dance was hip-hop and not daggering just to name a different dance style from later.
I grew up a little different, in a conservative religious bubble, I remember going to the basisschool and kids being dressed like Madonna's like a virgin. Not knowing the song or what it was about. But it stuck in my mind because I was raised with the belief this was weird or wrong.
But is it? That depends on the societal norms and stuff like that.
I also want to point out that this can be a very thin line.
I also remember in my late teens and early 20's with the difference in content on MTV & TMF and the type/version of songs and video clips.
Many Rap + R&B where like soft core porn video's and erotica labeled stuff.
Many kids at the time also had a tv on their bedrooms. I mean, there is no way to keep your kid away from this more adult stuff unless you raise them in a bubble or prison, on an social island.
Alles moet bespreekbaar zijn, and Dutch directness.
2011 Sexy and I know it. LMFAO
We all know this song, it was a bob.
Here I am working at a party with also kids present and adults; carnaval pre party [carnaval officially starts 11/11 and has many meetings, parties before the actual Carnaval festivity in februari, march; 7 weeks before easter] service, bringing drinks and collecting empty drinks.
This song comes up, and a boy not even a teen, maybe 9 y/o jumps on the little stage and pulls down his pants and shows his underpants while shaking his wiggle, wiggle, wiggle....
The parents? Who knows, no one stepped in, so a few wiggles later I told the boy it wasn't okay what he was doing, and went on with working.
I am not the guardian of this boy, I was seemingly the only adult in the room that had tried to stop him. But he was shaking even after the song was over.
Was I the weird one for making a deal out of this?
If he was wiggling while at the beach, would I have said something?
Was I making this weird?
So I don't know, what the correct answer would be. I just know that I found this weird behavior, but seemingly was the only one stepping in also.
I get the point made about the beach, difference he wasn't and there he would not have pulled down his pants to shake his underwear.
Was the Madonna, like a virgin dress up with carnaval weird?
Is sex weird? How much should we shield kids from this. Because heterosexism and heteronormativity has been around my whole life. Even before the sexual revolution began, before I was born.
Similar, but different, is nudity bad?
European and even Catholic art has quite some nudity in them.
Is the human body a bad and shameful thing?
Naturistic ways of upbringing have less hick-ups with the personal body when adults. And even don't see all nudity as sexual.
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows
Anything goes
Anything goes - Cole Porter
During the recording of such video's you can easily have 2nd screen and use Google Translator 🙂
...and make people wait while I type word by word? And risk having google not translate the full context? Also, OBS acts up every time I change screens, then I have to fix the bug.
Not so easy when you know the behind the scenes. Google is for off camera use 🙂
I prefer involving the community and then reading the comments, having a laugh together 🤗
I know which shirt you mean, it was here also before in a special shirt store (once you go black you never go back) i think that that is that sentence. Gladly that they are banned from that store
Yeah it is a children's show in Brazil. And they turn out OK in the end. Not too prudish too, get over it.
Seems like you would've benefited from growing up in Brazil, 😅, are you okay, brotha? Need a hug?
